You should verify your exe against the antivirus. VirusTotal

It’s a Python script made into an .exe, of course it will be flagged. If you don’t want to run it then don’t. You can always do it the hard way too, and run the script yourself.

With the exe is it just the case of putting it into the GTA5 game folder and running, or can you have it run in any folder?

Do we need to install anything else to get it working as it just closes down when trying to run for me.

Apologies for being a noob.

Lucky for me. I have already python installed

hi i got an issue where it says this
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “rage-lint.py”, line 33, in
File “ntpath.py”, line 703, in relpath
ValueError: path is on mount ‘C:’, start on mount ‘D:’
[27888] Failed to execute script rage-lint
do you know what the issue is and yes i have python installed.

You can place it anywhere, but it is a terminal application, so you will have to run it from the console (like cmd.exe or Powershell). If you want it to be available, you will have to place it in a directory that is in your Windows %PATH%.

For example, if you want to lint your resources:

cd to your resources/ directory
Run it like so:

C:\Path\To\rage-lint.exe **/*.meta

SkellyKat_Gaming:

ValueError: path is on mount ‘C:’, start on mount ‘D:’

This is a bug that will be fixed in the next update, all you should need to do is move the .exe to the same drive that your resources are on.

i have it still doesn’t work.

GoatGeek · 2021-06-16T10:55:33.776Z

Go ahead and try v0.0.2 which I just built, this should fix the issue.

SynTer · 2021-06-16T11:00:18.525Z

SkellyKat_Gaming · 2021-06-16T11:25:23.461Z

SirBombay · 2021-06-16T18:28:43.599Z

Aw yes, goat. Here. have a heart

ultrahacx · 2021-06-16T18:55:03.324Z

Finally I don’t have to smash my head anymore Thanks for such a great tool

Parchoquer · 2021-06-17T11:03:02.463Z

Wow thank you!
smart and very useful

Excellent work, a very useful tool that will help greatly to fix countless hidden errors in meta files.

Edit : Not sure what’s on your plate in the future or if it even interests you, but do you believe some sort of tool that scrapes vehicle modkit IDs and lists duplicates is feasible ? Would be a godsend for people who made the big mistake of merging their meta files using broken tools (like myself hahah).

Stop reading my mind.

I had plans for implementing this, but it would likely come after RDR2 support and some other fixes I need to do.

Amazing thing to hear, all the luck to you
